Treuhandverwaltung IGEMET GmbH

Treuhandverwaltung IGEMET GmbH (commonly shortened to IGEMET) is the real-estate asset-management company of Industriegewerkschaft Metall (IG Metall), Germany's largest trade union. Based in Frankfurt am Main, IGEMET holds the union's property assets in trust and manages them as a commercial real-estate service provider. Its portfolio is nationwide, comprising 132 properties at 98 locations across Germany, the majority of which are Gewerkschaftshäuser (union houses) and IG Metall education and training centres. IGEMET's role is both economic and political. By developing and maintaining modern union houses, it supports IG Metall's trade-union policy objectives, while operating according to economic-efficiency criteria and the terms of its trust mandate. The company describes its values as rooted in the labour movement: developing union-house locations with a focus on resources and cost-effectiveness, acting as a real-estate service provider in direct contact with IG Metall, and pursuing the highest standards of needs-appropriateness, modernity, comfort and value for money for tenants. Ownership is structured through a trust arrangement. IGEMET has 34 shareholders (Gesellschafter), who are the 34 board members of IG Metall; these shareholders hold their IGEMET shares in trust for IG Metall. The company is overseen by an eight-member supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat) that includes senior IG Metall figures such as Jürgen Kerner (Second Chair of IG Metall) and Nadine Boguslawski (IG Metall Treasurer and Supervisory Board Chair), alongside internal and external members. Day-to-day management is led by a managing directorate supported by department heads for construction management and consulting, real-estate management, and finance. IGEMET organises its activities through regional districts (Bezirke) covering Mitte, Küste, Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, Niedersachsen/Sachsen-Anhalt, Berlin/Brandenburg/Sachsen, and Nordrhein-Westfalen. As a private, union-owned company rather than a listed real-estate firm, it does not publish stock-market information; its purpose is to preserve and modernise the property base that supports IG Metall's organisational and educational work.

Treuhandverwaltung IGEMET GmbH is the real-estate asset-management vehicle of Industriegewerkschaft Metall (IG Metall), Germany's largest trade union. It was established to hold and manage the union's property assets in trust, separating the ownership and stewardship of IG Metall's real estate from the union's other organisational functions. The company is headquartered at Wilhelm-Leuschner-Str. 79 in Frankfurt am Main, the address associated with IG Metall's national headquarters. IGEMET's core mandate is to preserve, develop and modernise the union's property base. According to the company, its portfolio comprises 132 properties at 98 locations throughout Germany. The majority of these are Gewerkschaftshäuser (union houses) and IG Metall education and training centres. These buildings serve both as administrative and meeting spaces for the union and as venues for its educational work, and IGEMET states that by providing modern union houses it supports IG Metall's trade-union policy objectives. Ownership and governance reflect the trust structure. IGEMET has 34 shareholders, who are the 34 board members of IG Metall; they hold their shares in trust for IG Metall. The company is supervised by an eight-member supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat). Its members include IG Metall's Second Chair Jürgen Kerner, IG Metall Treasurer Nadine Boguslawski (who chairs the supervisory board), Vincenzo Masi (head of IG Metall's finance and controlling department), Patrick Selzer (chair of IG Metall's board auditors), honorary board members André Arenz and Sibylle Wankel, and external members Jürgen Eckert and Gerhard Grandke. Dieter Knauss, chair of the control committee, attends as a permanent guest. Operational management is carried out by a managing directorate. Stephan Cramer (Dipl.-Ing.) and Allan Sommers (Dipl. Betriebswirt) lead the company, supported by three department heads: Sascha Rogalla (construction management and consulting), Moritz Müller (real-estate management) and Laura Feliks (finance). The company emphasises that its complex tasks require teamwork and that its staff combine different disciplines, detailed specialist knowledge and long-standing experience. IGEMET organises its property activities through regional districts (Bezirke): Mitte, Küste, Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, Niedersachsen/Sachsen-Anhalt, Berlin/Brandenburg/Sachsen, and Nordrhein-Westfalen. This structure allows it to maintain direct contact with IG Metall's regional organisations and to manage properties according to local needs. The company describes its values as rooted in the labour movement, combining a commitment to union traditions with a focus on resources, economic efficiency, modernity, comfort and value for money for tenants. As a private, union-owned company, IGEMET is not listed on a stock exchange and does not report publicly traded securities.
